Home meets are testers for track athletes

This week in Hailey, Carey

---

High school track and field season is winding down to its state-qualifying district competitions a week from now and the State 4A and 1A track meets in the Boise area May 18-19.

But first, two meets closer to home this week will challenge student-athletes from Carey, Camas County of Fairfield, the Community School of Sun Valley and Wood River High School of Hailey.

The Northside Conference finals are today, Wednesday, May 2 at 2 p.m. at Derrick Parke Memorial Field, Carey. And the Bob Shay Invitational is Thursday, May 3 at 4 p.m. at Phil Homer Field in Hailey.

Expected to compete at Wood River's only home track meet of 2012 are Buhl, Burley, Canyon Ridge and Minico.

Last week's weather-impacted meets were tune-ups.

( On Wednesday, April 25, Community School junior sprinter Ellie Swanson represented her school well during an 11-school small-school competition on the ISDB oval in Gooding. She won the 200-meter dash (29.1 seconds) and 400m dash (1:03.9), and placed second in the 100m (13.6).

( Wind and rain last Thursday brought a premature end to the 10-school Dairymen's Invitational meet for 1A, 2A and 3A schools on the same ISDB track. The field events were completed in addition to the sprint medley relay, high hurdles and 3200m distance run.
